James Fraser refers in A Hand Book for Travellers in Ireland (1854) to: the hills of Collon and Barranisky, which rise respectively 782 and 789 feet above the sea. The height is incorrect for Barranisky, it being 923 feet high, but the geographical location is precise enough to be certain of the identification. Has been called Ballymoyle.
Barranisky is the 1198th highest summit in Ireland.Trackback: http://mountainviews.ie/summit/972/

Hi, just to begin I wasnt sure whether to put this comment under a summit rating or in the forum so apologies if its in the wrong place! I have nothing to say which hasnt already been said here about the awful route to the summit of Barranisky, but just a quick notice for anyone intending to reach the summit in the next few weeks(which probably isnt many people).
I went to climb Barranisky just before the bank holiday weekendand at the forestry car park entrance there was a Coillte notice saying they were investigating a possible disease outbreak in the forestry and asked that any walkers stay entirely on the forest paths (which means reaching the summit is impossible). There was a bucket of disinfectant for cleaning walking boots at the entrance so i assume it is quite a serious investigation. Anyone intending to climb the summit might want to ring Coillte in advance especially before travelling far. I will update this comment in the next few weeks when the sign is removed!
